Protection is an absolute thing to do, especially for the children who are victims of sexual violence. The government must be responsive to take remedial action so that children who are victims of this violence can return to their normal environment. This study aims to determine the responsiveness of Subulussalam Women's Empowerment, Child Protection and Family Planning Service (the so called DP3AKB) in providing protection for children who experience sexual violence. The method used was qualitative with data consisting of primary and secondary data. Data were obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study indicated that Women's Empowerment Agency for Child Protection and Family Planning Office in Subulussalam was quite responsive in providing protection for children who experience sexual violence, but the responsiveness has not been carried out optimally. This can be seen from a). the ability of the bureaucracy to recognize the needs of child victims of sexual violence is good, b) the ability to develop a priority agenda for protecting children against sexual violence is in accordance with what is needed by child victims of sexual violence, and c) the ability to develop programs to protect children from sexual violence in the form of safe houses. The obstacles DP3AKB experienced in carrying out their duties were the lack of information and budget limitations experienced by DP3AKB of Subulussalam.

Budaya Korea Selatan yang masuk ke Indonesia baik melalui drama, k-pop, fashion dan kuliner yang khas, telah membentuk trend tersendiri di kalangan remaja, bahkan dewasa. Khusus untuk makanan Korea, penikmat kuliner di kota Banda Aceh sudah sangat familiar dengan kimchi, tteobokki, kimbab, korean garlic cheese bread dan lain-lain. Peneliti menemukan setidaknya terdapat 5 gerai kuliner yang menawarkan jajanan Korea di Kota Banda Aceh,  baik yang dijual secara online maupun offline.  Namun dari literatur yang peneliti pelajari menyebutkan bahwa di Indonesia prosentase produk makanan  Korea paling sedikit mendapatkan sertifikasi halal dibandingkan produk makanan yang berasal dari Cina dan Jepang (Ramita Paraswati, 2017). Aceh sebagai wilayah dengan mayoritas muslim, kepastian kehalalan produk makanan menjadi hal yang utama.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi sejauh mana penyelenggaraan jaminan produk halal yang dilakukan oleh Majelis Permusyawaratan Ulama Aceh (LPPOM MPU Aceh) pada peredaran makanan, khususnya makanan Korea dengan merujuk pada Qanun Aceh Nomor 8 Tahun 2016 Tentang Sistem Jaminan Produk Halal. Dengan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif, melalui tahapan wawancara dan observasi, peneliti menggali informasi lebih mendalam dari para informan untuk menjelaskan langkah-langkah yang telah dilakukan oleh LPPOM MPU Aceh dalam rangka penjaminan produk halal, terutama pada makanan Korea di kota Banda Aceh.  Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa belum ada gerai makanan Korea di Banda Aceh yang telah tersertifikasi halal MPU Aceh. Hal ini dilatarbelakangi oleh mind set pelaku usaha bahwa selama bahan baku yang dipergunakan halal, maka otomatis produk olahan mereka terjamin kehalalannya.
